There's something happening hereBut what it is ain't exactly clearThere's a man with a gun over thereTelling me I got to bewareI think it's time we stopChildren, what's that sound?Everybody look - what's going down?

traffic was unusually good tonight around 6 taking 85 to 285, mostly Dekalb but a little bit of Gwinnett in there, maybe because everyone was at the scene. News shot looks like freaknik, with white people

Canton:The_Sponge: It depends on the department. IIRC, members of the LAPD always work in pairs.

Awesome T-Shirt: Depends on the agency. Some cars are doubled up depending on how bad the area is, but most ride solo.

ha-ha-guy: I was figuring the place that is so broke they can't field ambulance drivers, likely can't afford to field police in pairs. One of the first things broke departments seem to do is send people out solo since it halves the payroll costs.

Ahh, okay. Makes sense, thanks.

On the other hand, it might be more cost-effective to send a pair of officers in the event of an ambulance run, than to abandon a car somewhere, to be picked up later (which would also require two drivers, one of whom would drop the other off at the scene.)

It's extremely inefficient and not logical, but they've been doing it that way for 50 years and they're not about to change.

This isn't about what the banks did, bla bla bla. This is about a crazy farking a-hole that deserves to be punished for being a crazy farking a-hole.

/in regards to all the comments about banks, they are to blame for what happened//the people who had a household income of $65K and a net worth of $20K and took the mortgage on a house valued at $500K, they are also to blame. Ignorance doesn't negate blame

Oh, so the firefighters are finally getting a taste of how it feels and they don't like it? Boo-hoo, why don't you go cry all over another innocent fire? It's about time someone stood up for fire. Keep fighting the good fight, firefighterfighter!
